DAF Bus – other models: bus chassis from Eindhoven outside the named ranges, from the CITY CARRIER to the SB2750, four- and six-cylinder engines, 11,990 to 18,600 kg gross vehicle weight
DAF is known chiefly as a truck maker from Eindhoven, but for decades it also built bus chassis that independent bodybuilders such as Den Oudsten, Berkhof or Jonckheere fitted with their own bodywork. This page gathers the DAF bus models the register could not assign to a named range: the CITY CARRIER, the MB 230 and the SB2750.

The register lists here 3 versions with engine displacement from 3,900 to 12,900 cc and four to six cylinders. Kerb weight ranges from 8,393 to 12,040 kg, gross vehicle weight from 11,990 to 18,600 kg, length from 10,590 to 11,950 mm at a width of 2,500 mm.
Chassis like these formed the technical basis for long-distance and touring coaches, while the body and interior fit-out came from specialised bodybuilders – a business model common across Europe well into the 1990s, before integral one-piece coach construction took over. DAF chassis were regarded as robust and suited to long-distance service, with comparatively high gross weight ratings for three-axle versions.
On a used DAF bus chassis it is worth checking the frame and axle mountings, as corrosion on cross-members and spring hangers is common on vehicles of this age; the brakes, air suspension and drive shafts should be checked against service records. Engine and gearbox parts are available through the general commercial-vehicle trade, while body parts are usually only available from the relevant bodybuilder or the used-parts market.

What to check before buying
